Hey Kiddo,
Sorry I didn't see this before but you know us Aussies are bit slow :-) With respect to your exercise difficulties 2 possibilities come to mind. If you liked walking but any kind of impact is out of the question then an elliptical trainer might be the go. The motion is similar to cross-country skiing and they work the arms as well, but because you never lift your feet off the machine there is no impact transmitted to the feet and legs eventhough they get a great workout. So they're better than a walk or even a treadmill from that respect. The other possibility if the knee and ankles are okay with linear up/down movement might be a rowing machine. If it's not too rude to ask, do you experience much pain when standing for extended periods or when bending?
From your diet you sound like a girl after my own heart, love my pasta and taters :-)
Hope the diet's going okay.
